On Wednesday afternoon, last the
Aesthetic Club held delightful meet
ing at the residence of Mrs. Logan H.
Roots. The afternoon. was devoted to
the young ladies of the club, who sue
ceeded admirably in entertaining the
the guests. A play was given, in cos
tune by four young ladies, who repre-
Sented admirably the four principal lady
characters in Shakespeare'S PLAYS. Miss

iet," and as Mary Montague, told how
the enamored Romeo became as other
husbands after marriage and forgot his
rash remark about desiring to be a
glove upon her fair hand.

a beautiful representation of that unfor-
tunate heroine. Her acting was very
fine, and her frequent reference to
"Ham" and his Sayingswas quite anus
ing.
Mrs. ]. W. Blackwood was an excel
lent "Portia, with her frequent legal
expressions upon all occasions, and her
regret at leaving Belmont" and sur
rendering her fortune to her neglected
husband, was very we'll enacted.
Miss Eva Whitthorne was hand
some representation OF "Lady Mcbeth, .
and succeeded admirably with her
Scotch tongue.

Features of the Case.

CINCINNATI, Dec S-The close of the
governments testimony in the Harper trial
came just after two sensational revelations,
that of an attempt to bride District Attorney
Burnett and the publication of Harpers and
Miss Josie Holmesslo letters. The result of the
first was to lead the attorneys for the defense to
require statement in court from Mr.. Burnet,
generating them from any connection with the
attempted bribery There no denial of the
fact, only shifting of the burden to other
shoulders. The other revelation--the love-letters
makes world of sympathy for poor Mrs. Har-
per. but it creates acorrespondingly hard feeling
against Harper The jury had been cautioned
against reading the newspapers. but not COM
manded to let them alone. The court, upon
the close of the governments testimony
to-day, of its motion, ruled out four of the
counts in the Indictment as being imperfeetly
drawn AS there are ffty-five counts in ali,
these four cut but small figure to the defend
ants credit 1t is an unusual and remarkable
fact that not single exception has so far been
taken to any ruling of the court Moreover,
the rulings have generally been made with
little argument. A statement is made this
evening that after Harper discovered that
Charles Hopkins had betrayed him and had
obtained valuable testimony against him, an
agent was sent to Hopkins to bride him to
secrecy, but the effort unsuccessful. Hop.
kins says he has other letters of Harper's which
have not been published. but he denies pocket
ing $40 sent TO Hiss Holmes.
